Summary: Kinda "The West Wing" meets "Another Country" The world SO needs this kind of stuff. So if you *like* that kind of premise then this is undoubtedly the fic for you...if not, you can just make disapproving faces.
Spoilers: Two Cathedrals, H.Con 172
Dedication: For Raven: I hope you're doing okay now!!
Note: The corporal punishment in this is a bit different to what I normally write but hopefully the emotional reactions to it are the payoff The CP in this fic is of the school variety and involves the discipline of 17 year old boys so don't read on if that isn't your kind of thing.
Background: In the episode "Two Cathedrals" we see a 17 year old Jed trying to have a conversation with his father, which is cut short when his father lashes out and hits him for no real reason. Jed is visibly shaken by this but it clearly isn't an isolated incident and has happened often before. The flashback part of this story takes place the night after that incident. The present day part of the fic takes place after Jed has been censured by congress for not revealing to the nation that he had multiple sclerosis before he was elected.
Canon note: We don't know how Jed and Leo first met. Leo states at different times that he's known Jed for 40 years, or 32 years. It's not remotely canon that they went to school together but I liked the idea as a flight of fancy .
Author's Note: Distinctly unbeta'd.

Author's Notes: This fic takes place immediately after the events of Debate Camp.

Author's Notes: This fic is set in my "June 17th" universe and events from that fic are referred to in this one, although it can easily be read as a standalone. Please note that it is slightly AU both from the real WW universe and the real world in terms of dates - US bombing raids in Vietnam had stopped in 1970 and Leo was in Vietnam a little earlier but those are the dates I started with in "June 17th" so I thought I'd continue with them.
Dedications: Huge and heartfelt thanks to Phoebe for being the source of such amazing knowledge on Vietnam and for the usual in-depth beta.
Thanks also to dot for support.
Special thanks to Sergeeva for the striking title graphic.

Summary: Pairing: Josh/Matt SkinnerRating: RNOTE: This is an old, still-to-be finished story. It was inspired primarily by Season 2's "The Portland Trip," in which Josh met with Matt Skinner, a conservative Republican congressman played by Charley Lang, to discuss an anti-gay marriage bill, and "Noel," in which Josh suffered a post-traumatic melt-down. Major characters are borrowed from TWW's true owners, and bits of dialog quoted, with respect and not for profit.The title comes from Leonard Cohen's "Anthem": "Every heart/ to love will come/ but like a refugee."Fandoms:West Wing, slash fictionCharacters: Josh/Matt SkinnerGenres: Slash Warnings: NoneChallenges: NoneSeries: NoneChapters: 2 Completed: No

Author's Notes: This story hasn't been beta'd so all mistakes and Briticisms are mine. I really wrote it as a bit of spanky relief from the huge long epic that was Old Friends and didn't realise it would turn out so long in its own right It just seemed to me that Jed was doing a very good James Dean impression at the end of the episode Manchester (see pic from the ep above) and was particularly surly and in need of a good spanking And poor Josh meanwhile just couldn't give himself a break over the mistake he made on the tobacco issue. So, Leo *really* needed to step in and sort them both out...

This is a sequel to my old story `The Man in the Picture'. It is posted on my website at:
www.angelfire.com/realm2/wayfinding/picture1.html
But basically in that story Josh is shown photographs of Sam kissing a man. This is serious for Sam because he is a Congressman and has been married to Lisa since early on in the Bartlet administration. Sam has been tricked into the kiss. As Josh helps Sam avoid a scandal they realise the strength of their feelings for each other but decide that to preserve Sam's career Sam must remain married and they must not do anything about their feelings. I depressed everyone with that ending so this is to give the guys another go at sorting themselves out.
I wrote this without having seen any of S6 or 7 but having picked up bits and pieces of what was going on from the internet, so the election outcome was (obviously) for my own purposes.
This story is dedicated to the candidates for the UK Liberal Democrat party leadership, two of whom got outed by the press when I was looking for something to write about.
As usual, excuse errors in my understanding of the US political system etc.
